Abstract
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare life-threatening infection in pregnancy and postpartum period. In 90% of cases, right-sided IE involves the tricuspid valve. This case report illustrates acute IE with native tricuspid valve vegetation with septic pulmonary embolization in immediate postpartum period.
